District
Administration magazine is honoring 22 schools and districts for
education technology initiatives as part of the Schools of TechXcellence
program. This is the second year for this national recognition program.

TechXcellence was created by District Administration magazine, and sponsored by HP and Intel, to
recognize schools that have implemented innovative, effective and
replicable technology programs that contribute meaningfully to student
or operational success.
The June 2018 honorees were selected by the program’s judges from
numerous nominations, and reflect programs that demonstrate effective
and replicable success.

The
22 schools and districts honored in this round of TechXcellence—from 13
states—have programs that incorporate technology powered by Intel,
including laptops, tablets and 3D printers.

The Liberty Union-Thurston Schools
initiative underscores the importance of embracing technology as part
of the education process moving forward in the 21st century.

“What
these stories tell us is that students are excited to use the latest
devices and applications as part of their education, which is fueled by
the vision and drive of teachers, principals and district leaders,” says
JD Solomon, editorial director at District Administration magazine. “We
hope our readers are inspired by the integration of technology
demonstrated by these honorees to launch similar initiatives in their
own schools.”
